Congratulations Teacher Stefani – Teacher of the Year!

Piano Teacher Stefani Yap has recently won the coveted Music Box Teacher of the Year 2015 Award! This award was voted on by fellow Music Box teachers who each gave wonderful & insightful presentations on their individual teaching at a recent teacher dinner. Way to go Stefani!

Students will work as a team in a fun and entertaining environment. They will build confidence in performance with a clear voice, imaginative dance and dramatic storytelling. Equal time is spent each class singing, dancing and acting to develop all skills. Our small class sizes mean every performer will have an opportunity to showcase and improve their strengths. There will be a performance on the last day.

MUSIC FUN FACT: Since she was 7-years-old, Dolly Parton has written approximately 5,000 songs. Parton considers herself a writer first and foremost — singing has always come second. According to her website, Parton writes a song every two or three days, and she always makes time to write on her birthday. She wrote her first song about her corn-cob doll. She was not able to write yet, so her mother had to copy the lyrics for her.

Did you Guess what we did to our old Grand Piano?

This piano was Canadian piano, ‘Apollo’ from the early 1900’s! A fine learning piano with a beautiful warm tone! However as students advance they need higher quality instruments to learn on. This piano was beginning to show it’s years and student wear and tear!

BEFORE: Step begins the project that would take weeks of work!

AFTER: Beautiful art for our new walls!

AFTER: Beautiful desk for office manager Josee!
